ABSTRACT:
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to an evaluation system for evaluating easiness of assembling, probability of causing inferior or poor assembling, easiness of machining or processing, easiness of manufacturing, easiness of disassembling, easiness of recycling, etc., of products, assemblies for constructing the products or parts thereof, in particular for household electric appliances, office automation (OA) equipment or machines, etc.
BACKGROUND ARTS
In the conventional evaluation system for evaluating products, by operating on a separated computer is conducted input therein, individually, thereby processing from calculation up to display of the result thereof being performed within the same computer. Namely, it has the structure being totally depending upon the separated computer, but except for external memory apparatuses and/or outputting devices.
Also, in that instance, when transmitting a plurality of information being different in contents thereof, it is common to construct the system, so that a plural number of files on the results of calculations are made or prepared, then the contents of the files newly prepared are transmitted every time when such a requirement is made.
For the system for evaluating products, it is always required to execute the evaluations by using a newest information and/or system. However, for the product evaluation system at the present, since the system as a whole is stored or constructed within the separated computer, individually, renewal of the evaluation system must be conducted on the separated computers, respectively, in particular when the evaluation system is used at a plural number of locations, therefore the work for renewal operation thereof comes to be complicated and/or troublesome.
Also, when providing the different information of evaluation in plural, since the information is stored being divided into the plural number of files and the information is presented or shown by exchanging or selecting the file(s) to be presented depending upon the requirement, it means that there also exist also the file(s) storing the results of evaluation therein other than the file(s) presenting that information, in the computer which stores or construct the evaluation system therein, therefore it has a problem in a view point of leakage of information.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Then, a first object, according to the present invention, is to provide an evaluation system, wherein the computer for inputting data for use in the evaluation is constructed independently from the computer for executing the calculation, thereby realizing the evaluation while always using the newest information/system therein.
Also, a second object, according to the present invention, is to provide an evaluation system, wherein the calculation results are provided, but without producing excessive file(s) that will be a cause of the leakage of information, as a countermeasure to solve the problem in view of security, which occurs when adopting a method wherein the input information is calculated after being transmitted to other computer(s).
Further, according to the present invention, a third object is to provide an evaluation system, wherein the input of the data for use in evaluation is carried out by codes, for convenience of data transmission between the computer for inputting data for use in evaluation and the computer for executing the calculation thereof.
According to the present invention, for accomplishing the above-mentioned first object, there is provided an evaluation system for product, having: an input device for inputting evaluation information; and an evaluation device being connected with said input device through a network, wherein said input device comprises: a function of transmitting the evaluation information inputted therethrough to said evaluation device through said network, and said evaluation device has: a function of executing an evaluation calculation with using the evaluation information which is transmitted through said network; and a function of transmitting a result of execution on the evaluation calculation by said evaluation device to said input device through said network.
Also, for accomplishing the above-mentioned second object, in the above, wherein a plurality of pieces of evaluation results which are evaluated by said evaluation device are handled as one of output file.
Also, for accomplishing the above-mentioned second object, in the above, wherein an evaluation information being coded is used in the evaluation information to be inputted.
Also in the above, wherein an information depending upon tools or jigs in working time is included in the evaluation information to be inputted, thereby obtaining an improvement on accuracy in evaluation.
Also, as an example of the above-mentioned evaluation, there are listed up any one of easiness of assembling, probability of causing inferior or poor assembling, easiness of machining or processing, easiness of manufacturing, easiness of disassembling, easiness of recycling, etc., of said product, and a combination of those.
